Hayley Snow followed her boyfriend (she thought her soul mate) all the way to Key West from New Jersey. She is somewhat impulsive which gets her into trouble; and passionate-she also tends to ramble in conversation. These characteristics are what make it so much fun to read about her misadventures! She gets to Key West, moves in with her boyfriend and things begin to fall flat. She moves out of his apartment and in with a friend and that is when things begin to happen. His new girlfriend, who is actually his old girlfriend, turns up dead, a victim of poisoning. Hayley is the prime suspect and just happens to be a food critic who is writing a trial food review on, (what else?) the best Key Lime pie in Key West. After all, she does need a job if she is to stay in town. After being taken to the police station twice to be questioned, she comes to the realization that she will have to be the one to prove her innocence. The things that take place to get in her way are jaw-dropping. What fun to read this murder mystery! I enjoyed every page and the laughter it brought! It is so well written that it flows from page to page, all ends tied together, no plot "unturned" by the end of the book. I had no clue until the near end, who may have "dunnit!" What a find! I will be reading and reviewing all five in the series but not back to back. BTW, this book even includes a few of the recipes from the story. An Appetite for Murder was published in 2012 and the other four have been published since then, so there is no waiting for the next in the series. They are all written and available at bookstores and online.
